8 The Resources
8.1 Overview of the Resources
In the Resources register card of the Object Organizer, there are objects for
configuring and organizing your project and for keeping track of the values of the
variables:
• Global Variables that can be utilized in the entire project; the global variables of
the project as well as the libraries.
• Alarm configuration for the organization of an alarm system in the PLC Designer
project
• Library Manager for handling all libraries which are included to the project
• Log for recording the activities during the online sessions
• PLC Configuration for configuring your hardware
• Watch and Receipt Manager for indicating and presetting variable values
• Task Configuration for controlling your program control via tasks
• Target settings for selecting the hardware platform (target) and if available for
customizing target specific parameters
Depending on the target settings the following resources also might be available:
• Parameter Manager for managing variables, which are also accessible for other
participants in the network. This functionality will only be available if defined in
the corresponding target settings.
• PLC Browser for monitoring of information from the PLC
• Sampling Trace for graphic logging of variable values
• Tools for linking external tools, which then can be started in »PLC Designer«. This
functionality will only be available if defined in the corresponding target settings.
• The SoftMotion functionality (license needed): CNC program list (CNC Editor) and
CAMs (CAM-Editor) (see the separate documentation on SoftMotion).
• Additionally there might be created and loaded a Docuframe file which offers a set
of comments for the project variables (e.g. in a certain language), which will be
printed when documenting the project with 'Project' 'Document'.
